RE: Stacked AR's anyone?

Posted by sberger on November 8, 2016 at 20:28:29:
I had them like that at first, since that is the way I've always stacked speakers. It sounded good. But then I read a post from a guy over at the Classic Speaker Pages/AR forums who had stacked 2 pairs of 3a's, first vertically, then horizontally, and much preferred the latter. I respect his opinion, and gave it a try, and I liked it a lot more. Better soundstage, and while it's probably my imagination, overall tonality seems better, richer. Plus, I much prefer the way it looks, and it's probably safer as well, especially in earthquake country where I'm at. These speakers were designed for both vertical and horizontal placement, so that they sound good both ways is not really a surprise.
